Hey Guys
Was hoping to get some opinions here. I'm currently driving a 2017 MS 75d that I've owned for about 2 years. It's more or less the uncorked version with autopilot, Air Suspension, and textile current gen seats.
I'm not necessarily a high end car buyer, but really liked the tech so splurged. I also live in a condo, with no charger, so have to leave my car on the Chademo at the building next door every 3-4 days to charge (more often in the winter).
Lately, i've been getting the urge to cut my payments as it's a heavy monthly, so have started to look into some less expensive cars...namely the new BMW 3 series (which is gorgeous) and the Model 3
This morning, I got a trade estimate on my MS from Tesla that is literally $16000 less than what BMW or Mercedes are willing to offer me. That would mean that I based on what i currently owe on the Model S, I would be upside down by $6k with Tesla (i originally also put $20k down on the car)
With the trade differential, the Model 3 SR + would work out to be about $100 more a month than the new BMW 330i loaded. I wanted to get some opinions on the SR+. Do you think Id notice a massive range difference from my 75d? Also, I understand that there are a few features missing. Is there anything that's a stand out loss here? I've read endlessly about the RWD in winter, and owned a S85 prior to my current 75d so am familiar with the drive difference.
Would love some opinions? What would you do?
